The CFP Difference

A CFP® or Certified Financial Planner practitioner™ is one of the most sought after designations in finance and is the seminal certificate for a wealth manager to obtain. 

It is a comprehensive license that includes requirements for professional experience, extensive education, and an intensive exam.  Included in the educational prerequisites is a college or university degree that requires an array of courses with contents included, but not limited to, financial planning, insurance planning, investment planning, income tax planning, retirement planning, estate planning, professional conduct, ethics, and fiduciary responsibility.  Further, the CFP® exam is one of the most exhaustive in the industry.  It is spread out over two days, takes 10 hours to complete, and yields a pass rate of approximately 57%.

Why does a designation like this matter? 

It validates competence! 

In a field rife with experts the CFP® is the license that sets advisors apart.

Experience and CFP® Credentials …

With over 630,000 FINRA registered representatives, 435,000 licensed insurance agents, 275,000 RIA / IAR's(and over 1,250,000 attorneys); there is no shortage of professionals proclaiming which path is best for you.    

Now consider this; there are only 67,000 CFP® practitioners in the country today.  Take this a step further and ask how many of those practicing CFP®'s have 30 years of investment experience?

Experience matters. Credentials matter.   Combined, these factors set The Advisers Trust, LLC apart from the rest. 

"For as Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, the life of the law has not been logic, it has been experience; experience being tested by obstacles and barriers, by hardship and misfortune; experience insisting, persisting, and ultimately overcoming those barriers. It is experience that can give a person a common touch and sense of compassion and understanding of how the world works and how ordinary people live…."
President Obama referencing the importance of experience in his May, 2009 nomination speech of now Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor
